Opening an uploaded Document - Paperclip

I'm using Paperclip to upload a .js file.

My model (Bypassing validation just for Testing Purposes):

# Script Asset
has_attached_file :asset
do_not_validate_attachment_file_type :asset

The upload itself works as it should, but how to open the uploaded file so i can display it in the View?

I tried and searched a lot, but i can't find a working solution. Just passing <%= @test.asset %> brings back the path of the Document.

Do i have to write a method for passing the Document to a text ?

 Paperclip.io_adapters.for(@test.asset).read

Doesn't require writing to (and removing from) the local file system.
